Yeah that happened to me, too.
And I remember freaking Tai's AI was absolutely suicidal. He'd run right into the middle of 10 locust and get downed, over and over and over.
Luckily he
gets tortured by the Locust enough to make him kill himself. Good riddance, asswipe.

I've never had any problems with matchmaking in Gears. I wonder what determines, for Gears, whether you will have a long time finding games or a short amount of time.Kibbles said:

I just found a match after ~ three minutes of searching.Kibbles said:Going for about 20minutes here without finding a match
The best thing is that people from Europe get matched with people from the USA which results in lag. I guess some idiotic chimps developed the online part of Gears. Now I have a glitch in a game where I can't pick up things, can't reload and do no damage. Fun...
I still can't believe they messed this up. After Gears 1 where it worked.

From what I have experienced, I still prefer it to Gears 1's system of online.Dosia said:
I haven't tried multi cause of all the horror stories, such a shame considering Epic's pedigree as a pioneer of online gaming on the PC side. I really thought they'd fix all the problems with Gears for Gears 2. Hopefully they patch it soon before everyone gives up on the game.
At least Horde is good shit.

Thanks to whoever suggested making a separate US account. I was able to download my map pack, and use them on my gold profile. Excellent. The multiplayer has some quirks to iron out but really nothing that can't be cleaned up before the end of the year (assuming they left some of their budget to support this game lol).
Wow, the level design(if you can even call it that) on the way to the queen's chamber is some of the laziest I've ever seen. Halo's library level has nothing on this. I'm surprised campaign mode isn't catching more shit for this stuff. The worm level, the lab where you just chainsaw through about 20 "Flood" bad guys, the path to the queen's palace, random sections of walking from checkpoint to checkpoint... I'm surprised at how clunky these sections are. It looks like the campaign was designed for some cool co op action for when you're tired of the multiplayer stuff and that's about it. AND I'm still using the same fucking weapons minus the very situation specific mortar/flame thrower. :/
Oh and since I'm on a rant: I love how Marcus stares down switches and levers into submission if you're carrying a turret. Who cares if you're making the biggest game of the year with an unlimited budget, there's no need to take some extra time to animate it properly.

I got a question relating to the story
After finding his wife, how come Dom shoots her in the head. Obviously she was sick, but their was no attempt to get medical aid or anything. It just seemed like he jumped to the conclusion that she needed to be killed rather quickly. Was she suffering from Imulsion sickness, and since it has no cure, Dom just put her out of her misery? Was that the idea?

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

This.
Seems sloppy has hell and makes me appreciate Gears 1 even more. Thought it was just me who realized these things.
Were there some major staff changes at Epic for this one? It sure feels like it in just about every area of the game.

There are a ton of you having problems with the matchmaking, couldn't someone make one of those GAF friends list? Like GAFGears2 or something. I know making new friends is tough, especially if they're 10 years younger than you, but the rewards could be alright. You could avoid matchmaking, avoid glitching etc....
Obviously GAFfer's aren't automatically awesome people who are full of fun and happiness, but it's gotta be better than the nightmare you guys are describing here.

it seems like more thought went into the co-op experience but everything else has taken steps back. There are many more situations where you have to defend on 2 flanks or where having a long range guy and a short range player filling different roles is helpful.
Taking the horribly designed areas out of it, I still think the previous Gears was better. The main reason for that is that it seems you're mostly stationary in Gears 2. There's almost never a reason to move the line of fire forward, most of the time I end up behind the same piece of cover for the duration of the fight or just move laterally. I understand that one of the reasons is because the amount of enemies you're fighting has increased so much. It's easier to leave yourself exposed when going after the enemy, but when Gears boils down to sitting behind your cover and shooting the bad guys that are moving around their cover... it becomes boring. Oh and did I mention that there's basically one new weapon and one enemy type?
But it's still gears, still fun. I'm glad I rented it, I'm glad I didn't buy it. :lol
